The theme for this week is our Spring break Challenge.
Your task (and our 5 remaining designers as well) is to design a look for your little one to wear that is inspired by your favorite vacation spot. What will that look like? Where would you like to go? The mountains? The beaches? Disneyland? A Cruise? Grandma's House?
It's your vacation inspiration and we can't wait to see what you've come up with. BUT before we get to see your looks we need to announce the winner of last weeks sew along!
Last week our theme was "Put Me in the Zoo" and our judges picked:
(HEY!!!! It's CP!!! Our third place winner from season 4 and a very frequent participant in the sew along group!) For being the judges choice last week we will be sending you a gift card and will be in touch with you soon!
Now...we are ready for the Spring Break Challenge!!! Let's see what you've got for us this week!!!
Wow!!! Wasn't that a fantastic first week...seriously. We knew that our designers would be creative and they blew us away. Can't wait to see what week #2 has in store, but let's get to the results first.
After combining the readers' poll and our judges' scores, this week our winner is It's Always Autumn's Safari in the City look! Congratulations Autumn......seriously great interpretation of the theme.
And sadly we are losing our dear Jess from If Only They Would Nap. The results were so close and we seriously hate losing such amazing designers, but we know that we won't see the last of Jess, because we still have her blog where she makes clothes with such style (like her lines and angles series right now...go check it out...and leave her some comment love for all her hard work and effort).
We are going to miss you Jess. You always add such phenomenal details to your clothing!!!! Really, great stuff.
While the Sew-Along Judges are mulling over their decisions this weekend as to who the sew along winner is.....have a wonderful weekend. We will see you back here on Monday with another winner and a new weekly challenge--The Spring Break Challenge---and outfit inspired by a favorite vacation or destination!
The kids and I decided to go on a little adventure, we went all the way to Africa for our Zoo trip and ended up in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. There we met the coolest Zookeeper and his Hip-O and the tallest giraffe you ever did see. PRP for me, is all about creating those special pieces you've been dreaming for years but just never got around to it, are you ready?
For my first look, I created the a little hippopotamus inspired outfit one of my favorite animals and my daughter has a hippo plush she adores- perfect! When I think hippo, I think grey leather, cute little ears and a boxy kind of body. So, I recycled a pleather jacket I found at the thrift store, completely took it apart, I kept the pockets and worked around that. I self drafted my own pattern to create a boxy, short sleeve jacket with little ruffles at the sleeve cap. I had just enough of the pleather fabric to create a little hat with ears. I used the Oliver + S pattern from the book Little Things To Sew, I modified the pattern a little by removing the ear flaps and making the hats ears a little smaller.
The next thing that comes to mind when I think hippopotamus is a ballerina. So to complete my outfit, I created a leotard and tutu. The leotard is self drafted, I added some front pleats and inserted a tangerine colored bow to brighten everything up. For the tutu, I followed the Oliver + S pattern from that same book. I modified the closure to add snaps, so my little one can get in and out of her tutu all by her self. I created the tutu with multi colors of tulle and made it reversible as well.
Lastly, a hippo is never without his friend the bird, so I made a little bird with wings purse from an old turquoise leather skirt and added a touch of neon orange to tie the outfit together.
What is a Zoo without a Zookeeper? For my son I created a jumpsuit, I've been wanting to make him one for a long time now. I use the Small Fry Skinny Jeans from Titchy Threadsfor the bottoms and then self drafted a safari style shirt for the top. I embroidered the word Zookeeper on the back, as if you didn't notice and used that same neon thread on all the grosgrain ribbon to tie the colors together. The fabric is a cotton twill I've been hoarding for 13 years now. I also had the perfect vintage badge which says Serengenti, Tanzania- and this is what gave me the idea for the photoshoot. How lucky, who says hoarding doesn't come in handy sometimes? The badge also has an embroidered cheetah which is my son's favorite animal. Now what is an animal inspired outfit without an animal print, I ask? So obviously, I had to make a hat with a cheetah print which I created with a black sharpie. The hat is self drafted too. If you would like to see close up's and details of all the clothing, please come say hello on my blog Petit a Petit and family. We had so much on this shoot and the kids really love their outfits- bonus! I would love to travel with you some more next week? See you then, I hope!
Call Ajaire--Sunbonnet Panda Pinafore
My 2 year old girl Bean is in love with anything panda (check out the #allpandasallthetime hashtag on Instagram to see how nutso she really is about them) so it was a sure bet that I'd use pandas as my inspiration for this Put Me In the Zoo theme. I decided to use the basic color blocking of a panda as the inspiration jump-off point. I designed a backless pinafore with a sunbonnet attached that would cover all the white areas on a panda's body. Over-exaggerating the sunbonnet made it extra cute for summer wear. I had never made a sunbonnet so drafting one that didn't need a chin tie was no easy task, but I'm so pleased with the result. The sunbonnet stays put while it's on Bean's head, but she can also flip it back if she doesn't want to wear it, without having to ask someone to untie it for her (or half choke herself in the process). She's not a huge fan of hats, so this is my way of easing her into some head protection from the sun this summer. The pinafore is backless and secured in the back with a buttoned strap. The sunbonnet is attached to the pinafore at the back of the neck as part of the neckband. This Sunbonnet Panda Pinafore is meant to be worn with a shirt for some sun coverage or on its own on those warmest of summer days we get here in Maryland. I used a lovely polka dotted two sided double gauze for the fabric so it would breathe well in all the heat. Even though the fabric is light-weight, the sunbonnet design holds its shape due to the origami-style folding I used at the nape of the neck and a sandwich of interfacing on the brim.
To go with the pinafore I drafted a cute shirt which would be able to stand on its own and not just be a layering piece. I added puffed short sleeves, gathering the sleeve at the band as well for a little girly flair. A Peter Pan collar and banded bottom also help to make it stand out from a basic t-shirt. The shorts started out as a pair of Oliver & S Sailboat Pants, but I cut the legs off to about a two inch inseam, gathered the outside legs, and added a band to make them bubble style shorts. Of course I added some panda fabric to the shorts' facing so there is a fun surprise for bean when she takes them on and off. I used the same fabric, fussy cutting the panda faces to make the panda buttons too. The shorts paired with a self drafted pair of tights round out this adorable panda themed outfit. We are lucky enough to live close to the National Zoo so we headed there for a fun photo shoot. Bean was so excited to see the pandas and of course she had to sit in her favorite panda's lap and introduce her Pammy Panda to him.
I'd love for you to stop by Call Ajaire where you will see all of the outfit details including the Sunbonnet Panda Pinafore no-shirt no-tights (no-shoes) summer styling.
If Only They Would Nap--Sharp as a Shark
When I first saw the theme for week one, I almost immediately knew I was going to use a shark as my inspiration. My four-year-old thinks sharks are really fun (you know, in books.. not in real life, of course!) and the look came together nearly exactly as I pictured it in my head. And how often does that really happen? My goal with this outfit was to have pieces that were very wearable and that could be worn separately. I also didn't want to be super obvious with my inspiration. The hood of the jacket, of course, is the most obvious - shark's teeth! - but there are hints of inspiration throughout the whole look. For me, boy looks are all about the details! From the piping to the pockets to the seam lines, this outfit is full of details that took a lot of time (and a bit of seam ripping), but are sooo worth it in the end.
The jacket is made from a black denim that has some stretch. I based the jacket very loosely off of the shape of a raincoat we have in our house. There are a lot of pieces in this jacket, and a lot of seams. It was definitely a labor of love! The jacket is fully lined, and because of the stretch in the denim, I cut the lining on the bias, matching the stripes to match the lines of the fins.. or the waves. The pockets are set in the front seams, and peak out just a little. I love the contrast of the front zip. The tee is made of a super stretchy and comfy knit, self-drafted to be more fitted and with longer short sleeves, because I love that 70s T-shirt look. I have the geometric trend on the brain right now, so the triangles (added with iron-on vinyl) are a nod to that and the shark's teeth and fins. The pants started from a pair of ready-to-wear pants, with a lot of changes in the fit and style. The grey twill is super comfy, and I love how it looks with the red piping and top stitching. There also seemed to be something fitting about using red with a shark look.... am I right?? The pants have a zipper fly and an elastic back waist, inset front pockets, and back patch pockets (some of those aforementioned details!) I love every part of this look, and even more than that, my son loooves it. He's already worn it and stained it, and it's been washed and worn again. Which is the best stamp of approval from any kid, don't you think?
Honestly, the "take me to the zoo" theme was a little terrifying at first, but I quickly settled on a giraffe for my inspiration animal because I knew I wanted to make a blouse with a high neckline and pretty detailing. I decided to use a white swiss dot for the top since there's not much I love more than a pretty white blouse on a little girl, and I chose a black and white giraffe print cotton and a pretty rust sweater knit to mimic the color and pattern found on giraffes. Then I worked to design three pieces that were inspired by a safari animal but are very much at home in the city, and--most importantly--comfortable and wearable for a 3 year old. All pieces are self drafted using other items in her wardrobe for reference.
My vision for the blouse involved a high neckline with some interesting details but I wanted to figure out how to execute that in a way that wouldn't be constricting or uncomfortable. I started by trying to pleat or ruffle fabric but couldn't get the easy sophisticated look I was going for. In the end I sewed rows of shirring using elastic thread on a large "donut" of fabric, then used that to create a combination V-neck, yoke, and faux cap sleeve. I attached a gently gathered bodice and finished off the arm holes and V-neck with narrow double fold bias tape. The shorts feature an elastic waist with a ruffled waistband, back zippered welt pockets, front slant pockets, a cuffed hem, and a perfect fit. The zippers and front pocket lining are in a bright gold for a pop of color. The soft cardigan sweater comes together at the waist, forming a V-neck to mimic the blouse, and then curves back out for a hi-lo hem. I took special care hand finishing the edges of the sweater to be sure it lays completely flat and looks as good on the inside as it does on the outside. The long sleeves can be pushed up to 3/4 length for more of a spring-time look. The sweater can be tied closed in front, or it can be worn open with the tie gently cinching the back. All together, the pieces form a look that's stylish enough for a girl in the city and comfortable enough for a girl on the playground.

Googie Mama--birds of a feather
This challenge—and I know for a fact all my fellow designers will agree—was tough. these simple simon girls must have been evilly cackling as they plotted this, because i was stumped. In the end I found myself mentally walking through our local zoo (Philly shoutout whatttt!) and evaluating each animal…monkeys? too sad, and too…brown. big cats? too cheetah-printish. shudder. zebras? too reactionary. and pigeons plot in secrecy…wait, where was i? prairie dogs? reptile house? hyenas???? truth is, i’m not a zoo lover. so i narrowed it down further: what—if anything—do i actually enjoy seeing when i go to the zoo? and then it was easy…
the flamingos. from their gracefully silly long necks, to their fluffy pink plumage and right on down to their goofy backwards bending scrawny legs. i finally had my inspiration, and it led me right to my two littlest girls in coordinating spring dresses. both dresses are done with a a combo of the same two fabrics: a lighter peach-pink knit, and a darker flamingo colored taffeta. (no lie—the thread i bought to match the darker color fabric? it’s name is “flamingo”. high five) elliot’s dress features a comfy knit top, with a taffeta skirt and waistband. the entire dress is lined, and has a built in slip for the Essential Puffiness Factor. the skirt is covered with lots and lots AND LOTS of hand-cut fabric “feathers”. i explored tons of ways to get a feathery look on a skirt—even down to using real feathers. but this was the winner: comfy, non-wrinkling, washable, tons of movement, and plus she straight-up loves it. the back has a contrasting button placket with pinkish rhinestone buttons running from top to bottom.
gigi’s dress features more of the taffeta in an a-line with a invisible side zipper and two lines of contrast piping down the front. the back was inspired by the fluffy flamingo butts. yup—more hand cut feathers peeking out from the back cutout and peekaboo skirt, along with two pink rhinestone buttons for a little bling. she also has a matching jacket, with contrast ruffle around the neck and rhinestone button; and separate slip for the Puffiness Factor. (everything was made from self-drafted patterns) and if you’re making dresses inspired by flamingos, you may as well jump in with both webbed feet, right? so both my girls got handmade hats/fascinators, topped with fluffy peachy-pink feathers and netting.
for more pics of my girls behind bars/more info about the dresses/answers to your burning questions (like just how many fabric feathers DID you cut out?) flap on over to my blog—googiemomma!
The Crazy Tailor--Buffalo Baby
I'm so excited to be here, and at the same time I can hardly believe that it's HERE already! Where did this last month go? When I found out the themes for the first week, I was thrown for a loop - animal inspiration? I had to look waaaaay outside the box. I based my look around a fabric selection, buffalo check (or buffalo plaid), and went from there. Since I find boy clothes more of a challenge, and also because we can always use more boy inspiration, I decided to do this look for my little 15 month old munchkin. I drafted a bodysuit-styled shirt with the buffalo check shirting and love the fit on this - no more untucked shirts on my little crawler! Next up were some buffalo-inspired jeans with some cute detailing from the original belt loops. This was my first time making a pair of jeans, and although they were time-consuming, the results were totally worth it!
In keeping with the buffalo theme, I made a pullover with a leather buffalo applique and used Kam snaps for the button-up collar. Such a nice layering piece! And then to finish off his look, I went with a classic camel-coloured corduroy blazer. I know....not a buffalo, but camels are at the zoo too! I had so much fun putting this look together, and I love it for it's versatility and style!

It's my favorite time again--the beginning of another season!!!
(I just love beginnings...hate endings...but LOVE beginnings.)
And today is the start of Project Run and Play Season 9.
So let's get going!!!
This week the theme is: Put Me in the Zoo.
What does that mean?
Welll...It means....take inspiration from your favorite (or your child's favorite animal) and design and construct an outfit based on that inspiration. Remember to make it "inspired by" and not a literal costume. (And it can be any animal...mammal, reptile, bird, etc.)
We are so excited about this challenge...we've already seen some of the designers work and can't wait to see what you've come up with.
So, with that said, let the season (and the linky party) begin!
the fact that i am sitting here WRITING MY PROJECT RUN & PLAY BIO is totally and completely surreal. like many i’ve been watching and dreaming from it’s very first season, and to now be an actual contestant on the 9th season?!?! well, i’m just about pee-in-my-pants excited. ;)
so i’m shannon, i blog sporadically at googiemomma, and i overshare. i’m also a run-on sentence abuser, a wife to one patient and long-suffering man, mother to five googies, and i think my jokes are very funny. i have always loved sewing—at 13 i bought thrift shop curtains and used a borrowed sewing machine to make myself costumes. when i started having babies my love for sewing really came back full force. dresses for my girls (4 of them!) have been my love, and now that my oldest is almost 14 i’m loving the added challenges of sewing for a teen with the deadly combo: curves and opinions. i’m basically self-taught—using a combination of experimentation, awesome blog posts others put up, and skills picked up from sewing books and patterns. full disclosure: i did have two semesters of home ec in 8th grade, where i made a stuffed guitar. that may give me an unfair advantage.
i’m ridiculously excited and nervous to get going on this season of PR+P, and i can guarantee that you’re going to love everything you see because the girls i’m playing with are awesome! #letsdothis!
Hi everyone! I'm Autumn, from It's Always Autumn. I never quite know what to say when I'm asked to introduce myself - anyone else find that slightly stressful? - but here goes:
I love dark chocolate ice cream, thrift store shopping, Masterpiece Theater, big libraries, London, photography, great fonts, baking bread when it's cold out and playing at the park with my kids when it's warm out. And sewing. Except when I mess up. Then I kind of hate it, at least until the seam ripping and re-sewing is done. Other things I hate (just in case you were dying to know): doing laundry, calling repair people, going to the dentist, folding laundry, cooked carrots, not being able to sleep as long as I want, snow in April, and putting away laundry. My husband (who is a college professor) and I regularly argue about which one of us is funnier (it's me, obviously). We're about to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary, and we have 5 kids ranging from 3 to 13. (Yep, that makes seven people in our house, which might explain my problem with laundry.) The four older kids are boys and the youngest is a girl, and I swear to you I love them all equally. I just sew for my daughter a lot more than I sew for the boys, so she gets a bit more blog time.
My blog is mostly tutorials: sewing, crafts, recipes, and photography tips, with a few rants and ramblings thrown in for good measure. I majored in Creative Writing in college, and I'm still trying to decide if blogging counts as "doing something with my degree."
I'm thrilled to be participating in Project Run and Play, but I'll admit I'm a little concerned that I can't fall asleep at night because I'm too busy considering welt pockets and how one shortens a separating zipper. I'm pretty sure that's not normal. Plus I really like my sleep, which you already know. That plus the fact that I use parentheses way too often (which you may have noticed) pretty much sums things up, I'd say.
I'm so excited for Season 9 of PRP to get started - I've loved following along with all the past seasons - and I cannot wait to see what the other participants are sewing up. I'll see you guys again soon!
Hi sewing friends! I'm Jess from If Only They Would Nap, and it feels a little bit like a dream to be introducing myself to you as a designer in Season 9!
I've been sewing since I was a girl. My incredibly talented mother bought me my first machine when I was about ten, and I would sew Barbie sleeping bags and teddy bears alongside her, as she prepared for craft shows and sewed garments for my siblings and me. I guess you could say it's in my blood!
In my pre-kid days, I was an elementary teacher, and I love love loved it. But as much as I enjoyed it, when I got pregnant, I knew I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. After awhile, I unearthed my sewing machine and began sewing clothes for my littles. I didn't even know what patterns were, so I just made everything up as I went along. I've had a lot of sewing fails, but it always makes the successes feel really, really wonderful.

Most days you can find me with a baby on my hip and coffee in my hand, homeschooling and sewing and getting out into nature whenever the fickle Wisconsin weather lets us. My four super amazing and wonderful boys (6, 4, 2, and 1) keep me blessed and busy. My house is rarely quiet, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Okay, maybe some days I'd like it a little bit quieter. But if I can escape to my sewing machine for awhile, I tend to be okay with the crazy.
I have always been a maker - some years it was painting, some years it was writing. These days, my heart belongs to sewing. I love creating practical but unique clothing for my boys. If I can take something I've thrifted and upcycle it into clothing or something else for my home, that's pretty much the best kind of sewing day.
I fill my blogging space with tutorials and pictures, mostly of things I've sewn (usually for my boys). I also believe that real life is the best life, so I keep it really real over on Instagram. Like, show you my messy living room real. ;) I've been super blessed to be part of the blogging community, and I think that's one of the best things about Project Run and Play - getting to know more of the sewing community and sharing a bit of my creative spirit.
I'm super excited for this season! I hope you'll be sewing along with us!
Hi guys! I'm Ajaire from Call Ajaire and I'm obsessed with Project Run & Play. Obsessed. Good, now that that you know why I'm here, let me tell you a little about how I got here.
Back in 2007 I was a computer programmer living outside Seattle. I met my soon-to-be husband, got engaged, and we decided to move back east to get married and be closer to our families. Though we each spent the majority of our adult years in or around Seattle and that's where we met, we were born and raised in Massachusetts. Fast forward a few years and we've made our home in Montgomery County, Maryland where I'm fortunate enough to be able to stay at home with our two (almost three - yikes!) year old daughter, Bean.
Okay, here comes the part where I talk about sewing. I've always loved making. At an early age I started cross stitching and sewing and then I taught myself to knit and crochet during college. When Bean was born I was filled with all sorts of inspiration and started sewing up a storm, but lets face it: with a little one in the house there's not a lot of sewing time and lots of mind-wandering-inspiration time and for me the best part of a project is really the design/plan phase. I guess that's the computer science part of my brain coming out? Anyway, sew-alongs really lit a fire under me in terms of deadlines and themes and without Project Run & Play to focus my inspiration I might still have a ton of UFOs hanging around the sewing machine.
I've been a massive fan of Project Run & Play since the very beginning and have participated in every sew-along since the first one in season three when I remixed the Junebug Dress. Looking through past seasons of the sew-along is like looking through Bean's baby book, hehe. Remember back before the linkys when we just submitted a photo to the flickr group? It's fun for me to see how she's grown and how my designs have progressed. I am over the top grateful to have been voted in for the wild card spot this season and can't wait to show you my interpretations of each theme. I've never even won a sew-along week so this is all pretty amazing, but I promise not to disappoint. I am in amazing company this season and as the social media hashtags we designers agreed to use for this #prpseason9 would suggest: I really do think this will be the #bestseasonyet. Are you guys excited yet?
Hello! My name is Celina and I blog over at Petit a Petit and familyand I cannot tell you how excited I am to be here today. Let me tell you a little about myself.
I was born in England, by the sea in Brighton and lived there until I was one and half, then I moved to Morocco in the capital of Rabat until the age of five when I moved to Montreal, Quebec and have been living here ever since. This might explain my explain my eclectic tastes from vintage to modern, from quirky to classic.
As for my first sewing experiences, I would say they date back to days where I made my barbies lots of clothes, I could spend hours on end. I took my first sewing class at the age of 13 but it wasn't until my last year in University where I had a lighter course load and decided to take extra night classes for sewing and pattern making that my passion for fashion really grew. I then completed a 2 year intensive program to become a fashion designer. After graduating I worked for various Canadian companies until I decided to launch my own label, Laila B.- a collection of up-cycled clothes for girls. This was long before I had any children of my own. I just loved the possibilities children's design could bring. I did everything from conception, samples, patterns, sewing, selling- you name it! I sold at craft markets and through word of mouth. I also open up a cute little boutique/ atelier which carried all the best indie designers of the time and some of my creations as well.
It was 6 years ago, when my son was born that I decided take a break to be a stay at home mom and 2 years later I had my daughter. I gave designing one more go when my daughter was one, and created a spring/ summer collection for babies to teens, after only one boutique had booked the collection ( the coolest kids store in Montreal nonetheless) I knew I had to move on and found a full time job making personalized gifts for a small family owned business. Knowing I wouldn't be able to design anymore and to keep my passion alive for children's design I started my little blog. That was 3 years ago.
I am now a working mom who blogs in her spare time. I mainly talk about children's design from clothing to toys to books and what not. I also showcase some of my creations and the sewing I do for my kids. Although I have been blogging for 3 years now, I've only really started sewing for my kids on a regular basis since last spring. You can review all of my sewing projects HERE if you like.
Besides blogging, this year I launched STYLO magazine with Jess from the Sewing Rabbit, it's an online magazine all about kids sewing and fashion. Issue 1 was so much fun and we are now working on issue 2 which will be out in May.
I am also a contributor to the pattern collective Willow & Co, where we will be launching our first collection in April which you can see here. And I am working on creating more PDF patterns under my own company In+Seams patterns. You can say I like to keep myself busy!
Here are a few extra facts about me:
- My mother tongue is french.
- I can't live without my morning coffee.
- I love color but wear mainly shades of black.
- I hate to cook, unless it's sushi for 10 or more people.
- I have a Bachelor of Sciences in Psychology from Concordia University.
- Dancing was my life growing up, I dreamt of becoming a choreographer.
- I lived in Paris and the south of Spain for a year.
- I hate the winter and yes I live in Canada!
Now you know everything! and I can't wait for you to get to know me a little more through my designs. Is it March 24th already? See you then!

Hi! I'm Sarah from The Crazy Tailor and I am SO excited to be on this season of Project Run & Play!
I've been sewing since I can remember, but since I've had kids it just seems so much more FUN. Sewing little clothes is seriously addicting. My sewing experience and knowledge has mostly come from working in various tailor shops, reading sewing blogs and just sewing,sewing, and more sewing. I've been blessed to have worked alongside some very talented seamstresses (yes, I still like/use that title!) and I owe them a lot for all they taught me.
I started blogging at the end of last year as a way to easily document my sewing projects and tester garments. Since then, I've really come to enjoy blogging and all of the "perks" that come along such as finding new sewing friends and being able to participate in fun things like this!
My two crazy kids (ages almost 3, and 15 months) keep me on my toes, so I sew in the evening and on the rare occasion that they nap at the same time.....
I'm so excited to try some new techniques and make some new friends this season!
We are gearing up behind the scenes to get ready for another season of Project Run and Play---season 9 to be exact. I can't even believe that we are already at Season 9...can you? Project Run and Play has been such an exciting adventure and I can't wait to see what will come next.
Season 9 will officially start later this month, but we wanted you to have the themes a few weeks early to be able to get going on your own sew along outfits. So here they are.....
Week #1---"Put Me in the Zoo" Challenge. Take inspiration from your favorite (or your child's favorite animal) and design and construct an outfit. Remember to make it "inspired by" and not a literal costume.
Week #2---Spring Break Challenge--design an outfit inspired by your favorite vacation spot (or day-dreaming vacation spot).
Week #3---Design Your Own Fabric Challenge--print, dye, color, paint, stencil or whatever else you can think of to design a fabric that is all you and then use that material to create an outfit!
Week#4--- Signature Style week!
There they are...and now we can't wait to see what you make. So....get thinking and sewing! What theme are you most excited for?
